Shanna Miles

"Twelve-year-old Theo Tatterly's ability to see ghosts is an extremely useful skill in a house full of family, alive and dead. At school and everywhere else, he's a loner -- unless you count the spirits constantly pestering him for help. For Theo, life is easier on the sidelines, but after a run-in with a mysterious soul-stealing spirit and the possible, maybe fated destruction of his entire family line, it's clear Theo can't stay benched much longer. He can feel the angry spirit closing in. But Theo Tatterly is nothing if not well equipped. He's got his snake Rupert, some dope basketball skills, and, as always, his family. Will they be enough to help him sink the shot and put the evil spirits to rest? Author Shanna Miles's story of magical, modern-day Charleston crackles with hauntingly unforgettable characters and pays homage to the city's rich culture, folklore, and history." --Book jacket
